Digital shop products
Adoptables / Adopts
Ownership and uses
- You recognize me as the Adoptable's creator. As the creator, I hold the rights to the Adoptable's design and their original files.
- After you purchase my Adopt (or acquire them as a prize, via trade, gift, giveaway or similar method), you become the Adopt's owner, and you are allowed to use them however you wish as long as these Terms allow it.
- You are allowed to make any changes you wish in your owned Adopt's design, give them a name, gender, story, draw them, etc.
- Personal use: allowed for the Adoptable's design and the original files. This includes personal merchandise, although some of my Adopts' files may not be fit for this.
- Commercial use: Streaming, promotional content, commercial comics, games, videos and similar use is allowed for the Adoptable's design and the original files.
- Commercial merchandise: Physical or digital commercial end products are allowed for the Adoptable's design, but not for the original files. If you wish to sell merch of your owned Adoptable, you may draw them yourself or commission someone to design merch for you.
- The original files of the Adoptable, be it art or not, as well as their original design, can only be associated with that Adoptable (example: if an Adoptable comes with an original music theme, that theme can only be used for that Adoptable, or in projects related to that Adoptable).
- As stated before, Adopts and all other digital shop products are non-refundable. I may revoke your ownership of the Adoptable in the following cases: 1- If you initiate a chargeback; 2- If there's a problem with the payment and it returns to you; 3- If you acquired the Adoptable in a dishonest way (such as cheating in a contest, raffle or other event organized by me where you received the Adoptable as a prize).
Transferring an Adoptable
Transferring refers to the act of giving an Adoptable you own to someone else.- You understand that an Adoptable can only have one (1) owner at any given time. You cannot transfer the same Adoptable to more than one person.
- For Adopts you've purchased, you may trade, give them away, gift or resell them (for no more than the amount you paid, unless they come with extra art that you've commissioned).
- For Adopts you have acquired without paying (via trade, gift, raffle, giveaway, etc.), you may trade, gift or give them away, but you aren't allowed to sell them.
- If you transfer your owned Adopt to another person, in which case that person becomes the Adopt's owner (and you're no longer the Adopt's owner), you must give the new owner at least the original files you got of the Adopt. The new owner must know that the Adopt was designed by me, and they must agree to these terms. Please understand that I cannot mediate between you and the new owner if a problem arises between you two.
Assets / Resources
Assets are the subgroup of my works that help you design your own works, also known as Resources. This includes Character Bases, Brushes, Backgrounds, etc.- You may edit my Asset as you see fit as long as it's for your own use.
- You may not share or sell my Asset (nor any part of it) as-is.
- You may only create digital and physical end products with my Asset. You may not use or repurpose my Asset to create derivative assets/resources to share with or sell to others.
- You may not use my Asset for YCH or other commissions (with the exception of your custom adoptable/character design commissions).
- Personal use: allowed for personal digital art, personal merchandising, gifts, art trades.
- Commercial use: allowed for premade and custom adoptables/character designs, premade digital art, premade physical merch, raffles/giveaways, premade promotional content, streaming, contest entries (as long as the contest's host allows it).*
Illustrations
- My Illustrations are premade art, and they're for personal use only. They're not Commissions, and they're not meant to be used as Assets, edited, or distributed. You may not share or sell my Illustration (nor any part of it) in any way.
- You may use my Illustration as your phone/computer background, personal social media profile picture or header (with credit).
